Stephen Belber’s “Tape” follows three former high school friends, now in their late 20s, who are stuck in the past. Each character has a different memory of their high school years, a time that shaped them in profoundly different ways.

Neil LaBute’s “The Break of Noon” poses the question: “How would you take it if somebody you didn’t like heard the voice of God?” Grappling with issues such as workplace gun violence and the meaning of religion, this play examines how modern-day miracles are perceived in a skeptical world.

Sam Shepard’s  “The Ages of the Moon” tells the story of two old friends, very different in nature.
